Installing the hinge for the lid is one of my favorite mods.

The Vortex produces remarkable chicken wing cooks----worth it if that's all you ever use it for.

jpietrantone Whoops I thought you had asked about the extra handle I installed. For a 22" kettle shoot for about 12" diameter at the base, 8" diameter at the top, and make it 5" tall.

Attjack I see you have a DigiQ. How do you like it? I have one coming in today. I'm having a hard time bringing myself to drilling holes in my kettle. Just have to get over it.
-
jpietrantone I like it a lot. I know there are newer controllers out there but the DigiQ gets the job done very well. I got mine thrown into the deal when I bought my Kamado. It definitely wasn't easy drilling that first hole in the kettle but each hole was easier to drill. Just make sure you know where they need to be placed and it should work out fine!

I removed the lousy ash catcher frisbee on my basic Weber kettle and replaced it with the removable bucket style. I've also added a lid thermometer near the vent, drilled out a port for deck and meat thermo probes and, just today, added an original SnS...just in time for a Labor Day surprise birthday party rib and chicken cook!!!

JaySwen I changed that out a few years ago myself. The original ash catcher was junk, especially if grilling on a wood deck during a drought.

Mr. Bones Yes, I just got the SnS. It did an awesome job searing some steaks on its maiden cook. What's the advantage of Stainless Steel grates? The grill is over 12 years old and will probably need a new grate in the near future.

jpietrantone No rust, easier to clean, last forever. And if you get SnSGrills' EasySpin Grate you won't regret it! Custom designed to work with the SnS, much handier than even Weber's hinged SS grate.

Is there an accessory lid holder for the 22" Weber Original Premium ? I can never find the stupid hook when I want to quickly open the cover to check or adjust things. It's always on the wrong side. I guess something like the one on the new SnS kettle.Last edited by BruceB; September 3, 2020, 05:22 PM.
